The girls received a âButterfly Grow Kitâ for Christmas. I make them space out their gifts so they can really enjoy them, because they are so loved they usually get overloaded. At a time like this, Iâm so, so glad I have things stashed to pull out for them. We have been waiting for warmer days to start this kit! đ đŠ đ± Itâs fairly simple and the girls did most of the prep themselves. They decorated, laid the soil, then planted the chia seeds. It comes with a cute little spray bottle to water it daily. (Fine motor!! Rowan actually has a difficult time with the spray bottle so this is great for her to practice and strengthen her little hand muscles!) They have also been observing and recording their observations daily. Teaghan even started her own little journal just for this. By day 3, we were already seeing sprouts begin! If you are talking about plants basic needs and plantsâ life cycle with your child while doing this, you will be hitting science objectives in PreK-4th grade. Recording observations is also a few SOLs and of course your child will continue to practice their writing. Teaghan changes out the number of day each day with a dry erase marker and we snap a picture! Itâs been a fun learning project that we are excited to continue to watch grow.
